Academic Track

The 2012 application process is now open. The application deadline is March 15, 2012.  

Academic ministries will have an impact on the formation of lay and clergy leaders, will address a recognized shortage area in scholarship/teaching, or will address an area where the Episcopal Church needs to develop expertise. The online application can be accessed here and a PDF version is available here. 

Fellowship applicants on the academic track must be engaged in or embarking on a course of study at the graduate level. Acceptable courses of study include doctoral and masters level programs, as well as clinical study or training at the post-undergraduate level. However, ECF Fellowships will not support first professional degrees such as M.Div, J.D. or M.D.

Demonstrated Capacities:

– Interest and competence as a teacher

– A clear vision of applicant’s vocational objectives

– Competence in his or her field of study

– The intention and ability to offer his or her gifts and expertise to the wider Church
